Notes

  • Use fresh lime and key lime juice for the best flavor.
  • If coconut cream is unavailable, substitute with coconut milk, although the texture will be thinner.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the pineapple juice quantity according to taste.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for optimal refreshment.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit rum and add more pineapple juice or coconut water.
